The trial began prosecutors representing people of the United States urge adjure to choose death as the punishment for the boston bomber. Four people were killed and 260 wounded almost exactly two years ago. Don dahler says prosecutors opened today with a surprise. Reporter prosecutors came out swinging, telling jurors tsarnaev, seen making an obscene gesture at a camera in a Court Holding cell just three months after the bombings was unconcerned, unrepentd nt and unchanged. He had one more message left to send. During her Opening Statements framed by photos of those killed during the attacks and in the aftermath, assistant attorney Nadine Pelligrini said he planned and plotted to kill, he deliberately selected a glorious sporting event and twisted the marathon into something cruel and ugly for his own purposes. The jury sat rapt as more victims took the stand. Celeste corcoran described being thrown into the air by the blast that destroyed both her legs. I was in such excruciating pain, she said, and there was so much screaming and chaos. That chaos was captured on video played for the jury.

The dancer, who may never dance again was 18 at the time. Krystle campbells family members took the stand to talk about how special she was before a bomb took her life. I called her princess, her father William Campbell said. I never called her krystle unless she did something wrong. Outside small group of protesters protested against the death penalty. 60 of bostonians share that view. Judge George Otoole required jurors, you are never required to return a sentence of death. Its an individual judgment. If only one juror decides against that sentence, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev spends the rest of his life in prison. Pelley prosecutors will go on about a week. The defense will take about two weeks. Don, thanks very much.

V. 4,000 need vols been turned in in an exchange program, but since we reported on this outbreak two weeks ago, the number of h. I. V. Infections has jumped from 89 to 135. Heres Dean Reynolds.

From the Needle Exchange . Yes. Reporter in town . Yes. Thats enough to do me for a week. Reporter but for months he was sharing contaminated needles with other users and is now diagnosed with h. I. V. Was of the 135 cases diagnosed in this area. That risky behavior is behind the outbreak in Southern Indiana where several cases of fullblown aids have also been reported. At the Community Outreach center where dirty needles can be exchanged for clean ones with no questions asked, officials told us they discovered one needle that had been used 300 times. We see peoples arms where they have abcesses because they use the same needle so many times. Reporter when users come here, first person they see is nurse brittany combs. Whats that like .

Its feared that more than 800 people were killed. Italian prosecutors say the boat collided with a rescue ship and then flipped when panicked passengers stampeded to one side. More than 1,600 have perished at sea this year, fleeing war and poverty in north africa and the middle east. Today a former nazi went on trial, charged with 300,000 counts of accessory to murder. German prosecutors are pursuing more than a dozen aging nazis under a new legal theory that death camp workers can be held accountable for the holocaust even if they didnt murder anyone with their own hands. Mark phillips is covering the trial. Reporter Oskar Groening now, a frail 93yearold man with a dark past. Oskar groening then, a member of the watch watch s. S. , the most nazi of the nazis stationed at auschwitz. Hedy bohm on the right, an 86yearold grandmother, hedy bohm then, a teenager deported to auschwitz with more than 400,000 other hungarian jews where the vast majority, including both her parents, were murdered. Oskar groening says he didnt directly kill anybody that he was just a cog in the nazi murder machine, but without cogs machines dont run. Hedy bohm will testify against him. I cried after my mom and she heard me. Reporter the family were separated as the train carrying them and thousands of others arrived at auschwitz. We just looked at each other and she didnt say a word, and i saw her turn and walk away. I didnt know at the time that that was the road that led to the crematorium, to the gas chambers. Reporter groenings job was to collect valuables. He was the nazis accountant. He pleaded while he was morally guilty, he was not legally guilty. And in all the german war crimes trials until now groenings argument is right even for the nazi brass like herman groening at nuremberg direct proof was required but Oskar Groenings trial is different. For the first time complicity in aiding the murder machine may be enough. Hedy bohm was in court and listened to groenings plea. So Oskar Groening says he accepts a measure of moral guilt but not yet legal guilt. Do you buy that . I dont find it enough. I believe its a copout. Reporter the german record for the prosecution of war crimes has not been impressive. Of the just over 6,000 s. S. Members who were alive at the end of the war the number who have been prosecuted and convicted, scott, is fewer than 50. Pelley Mark Phillips reporting for us tonight. Mark, thank you very much.
